Abstract

Pneumomediastinum is characterized by the presence of air in the mediastinum. Non-traumatic pneumo- mediastinum is rarely seen in children, and while the most common cause is asthma, foreign body aspira- tion should be considered in children younger than 3 years of age. The determinant of the clinical picture in these cases is the severity of dyspnea. Fasciotomy should be performed prior to rigid bronchoscopy, and mediastinal compression should be decreased in the presence of a marked dyspnea. Here, we present the case of a 2-year-old patient with pneumomedias- tinum secondary to foreign body aspiration, and discuss the alternative approaches to such cases in the light of literature findings.

Özet

Pnömomediastinum mediastende hava bulunmasıyla karakterize bir durumdur. Non-travmatik pnömo- mediastinum çocuklarda nadir olarak görülmektedir ve en sık sebebi, astım olmakla beraber, özellikle 3 yaş altı çocuklarda yabancı cisim aspirasyonu akılda tutulmalıdır. Bu tür olgularda kliniği belirleyen disp- nenin derecesidir. Dispne kliniği belirginse rijit bron- koskopi öncesi fasiotomi açılmalı ve mediastinal kompresyon azaltılmalıdır. Burda, 2 yaşında yabancı cisim aspirasyonuna bağlı pnömomediastinumla gelen bir olguda, neler yapılması gerektiğini literatür eşliğinde sunuyoruz.
